What If Bob Ross Painted His Own Super Mario Level?

“Hello, I’m Bob Ross. And today, we’re going to be experiencing the joy of Mario painting.”

Thus begins Los Angeles-based comedian Seth Rotkin’s (Reddit username drhelix) YouTube video, which imagines what an episode of the late painter’s PBS classic The Joy of Painting might look like if Ross traded in his brushes and oil paints for warp pipes, coins, and Goombas.

“My buddies and I are huge fans of Mario Maker,” Rotkin writes in the description to his video, “so we made this video I hope you enjoy!”

With Bryson Wallace in the lead role of the soft-spoken, denim-clad icon, the video establishes a simple premise:

“Now, we’re going to be turning in our painter’s palettes here in favor of a different palette—that of the Wii U pad,” Wallace explains. “Anybody can make a video game using this technology.”

Wallace then proceeds to build an elaborate level on his digital canvas, from a “little bush” and “some flowers” to a frightening tableau filled with piranha plants, Cheep Cheeps, Thwomps, and a pair of Bowser brothers. In the video’s final moments, the painter attempts to play his Super Mario masterpiece, and that’s when our curly-haired host loses his cool:

While the video is the lone upload from the group’s YouTube channel, A Dumb Thing, redditors praised the short film’s pacing, subtle artistic details, and comedic crescendo at the end.
